Case Laws based on Equal Remuneration Act

It was held that though equal pay for equal wages is not the fundamental right under the constitution, still it is considered as a certain constitutional goal.

Surinder Singh vs Engineer in Chief PWD, 1986

Daily wages would be entitled the workers doing the identical work in the same department. 

State of West Bengal & Ors. vs Hari Narayan Showal and Ors.

In case an expert committee is paid more as compared to the daily wage workers, a writ cannot be issued under Article 14 and 32. It was held that the level of expertise found is not equal. Hence, equal wages would not be paid.

State of Punjab vs Talwinder Singh and Ors 2004

Daily wage workers claimed parity of pay scale with those on regular basis. Granting minimum wages according to the pay scale was held valid.

Govt of West Bengal cat vs Tarun K. Roy, 2004

The principle of equal wages cannot apply in case where the educational qualification of two classes of person do vary. This is because the nature or the work is not same.

State of MP and Ors vs Pramod Bhatiya and Ors, 1993

In case it was found that the duty and function, responsibilities of both categories of the lecturers is same or identical. In such a case there would be equal wages for equal work paid.

M/s Mackinon Mackenie & Co. Ltd vs Andy D-Cousta & Ors.

No discrimination of male or female stenographer should be made. There cannot be any provision that the confidential stenographer can only be female workers. It would violate equal pay for equal work.
